Best of Evansville 2023

Evansville Living asked, “Who’s the best?” and readers answered. Across 45 categories, top contenders were named for shopping, dining, style, and more. Meet the winners of the 2023 Best of Evansville awards, plus a few picks from our editors.

New Victory Theatre Marquee

Best Way to Light Up the Night ★ Editors’ Pick

It was quite a party Aug. 11 in Downtown Evansville as the Victory Theatre’s new marquee was lit for the first time. Following remarks by Lt. Gov. Suzanne Crouch and Mayor Lloyd Winnecke, a countdown scrolled across the LED message board, and the few hundred people gathered outside the 102-year-old theater cheered as the lights glowed. Installation of the vertical blade-shaped marquee was a two-decade endeavor by theater manager VenuWorks and the nonprofit Friends of the Victory. Evansville Living editors love the look, too, and call it a grand “victory” for Downtown. Read more about the Victory’s new marquee on page 192.

Colonial Classics

Best Landscaping Business

Life’s a garden, and Colonial Classics can dig it. Readers agree, naming the 65-year-old company “Best Garden Center” in 2022’s Best of Evansville awards. Now, it takes the crown for its landscaping prowess, which is on display throughout the Tri-State — including at many residences on Evansville Living’s annual Most Beautiful Homes lists. The company has grown to design intricate landscapes with varying differing elements — annuals, native plants, furniture, stonework, and even swimming pools.

Best Full-Service Salon

When you’re looking for full-body TLC in a setting straight out of the big city, readers recommend Shannon Aleksandr’s.

Evansville Half Marathon

Best Motivator to Get in Shape ★ Editors’ Pick

In the 20 years of the YMCA of Southwestern Indiana’s half marathon, more than 30,000 people have heeded the call, laced up their shoes, and hit the flat, fast course through Evansville. Many look to the half as an opportunity to get in shape, and with 13.1 miles facing them, it’s an uncompromising motivator. Hundreds of participants even band together and train for weeks in the Y’s Team 13 program. Already this year, 1,509 runners have committed to the half — including 14 who have participated every year — and are bettering their health, one step at a time. Come Sept. 30, they’ll triumphantly cross the finish line and receive their medals surrounded by cheering supporters, all while raising money for the Y. Doing good while feeling good — that’s what we call a win.

Mo’s House

Best Place to Have a Drink After Work

Bottoms up! Whether your time at the office was great, lousy, or so-so, readers say a cocktail at Mo’s House in the Haynie’s Corner Arts District is just the ticket to close the workday. The Freaky Tiki, Old Forester Manhattan, and Southern Hospitality are a few popular picks, which you can enjoy in the bar’s living room setting or patio.

Bitterman Building

Best Example of Making Something Old New Again ★ Editors’ Pick

The grand center staircase may be gone, removed to make space for Parlor Doughnuts’ coffee bean grinder, but the Clifford Shopbell & Co.-designed Bitterman Building again buzzes with activity. The Bitterman brothers started their jewelry business in 1888 in the red brick and tile Italianate corner unit but moved into the three-story limestone and Chicago School-style building next door in 1923. Now, the mezzanine looks out over plates of flaky pastries and pours of gourmet coffee. Once-empty walnut-framed jewelry shelves are filled with branded merchandise. The store’s vault still stands, a shout-out to the building’s status on the National Register of Historic Places.

Lake Rudolph Halloween Weekends

Best Place to Spend a Spooky Weekend ★ Editors’ Pick

For a spooky setting for family-friendly fall and Halloween fun, Evansville Living editors suggest making the drive to nearby Santa Claus, Indiana. The Lake Rudolph resort offers seven weekends of ghost stories told over a bonfire, trick-or-treating at 500 sites, costume and site decorating contests, a carnival, haunted hayrides, the Ghostly Golf Car Glow Parade, and more. A free shuttle runs to Holiday World next door, so guests can get in on the theme park’s Halloween fun.

River City Pride Parade and Festival

Best Downtown Event

Founded in 2019, River City Pride previously was staged at Haynie’s Corner Arts District, but this year it moved to Downtown Evansville and found a big crowd. Thousands flocked to Main Street in June for a parade, drag show competition, food trucks, and rows of vendors supporting LGBTQIA+ residents with community resources, rainbow apparel, free hugs, and more. Under an air of joy and sparkles, the all-day party has found a welcome home Downtown.

Best Store to Go Thrifting

When style- and budget-conscious readers want a steal of a deal, they go to Goodwill.

Azzip Pizza

Best Business that Gives Back

Founded by Evansville native Brad Niemeier, Azzip Pizza opened on the West Side in 2014 and has taken off with readers for its food — and philanthropy. Azzip’s various “We Give A’Zip” programs benefit schools and charities in every Tri-State community in which the store operates. Organizations can sign up for a giveback day on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, or they can take part in gift card or scrip card fundraising.

Angelo’s

Best Italian Restaurant

Angelo’s on Main Street is where readers go when they are craving an Italian meal. Patrons enjoy the casual yet intimate setting, no matter if they’re perched in a cozy booth, people-watching on the patio, or gathered for a party in the La Gondola room. Angelo’s has vast Italian fare, with veal parmigiana, veal pepper, shrimp alfredo, and penne carbonara among the house specialties. You’ll want to leave room for dessert choices, such as homemade tiramisu, cheesecake, French silk pie, and cannoli.

Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana’s Rooftop

Best Entertainment with a View ★ Editors’ Pick

When warm weather arrives, take in some music, sip a drink, and enjoy Downtown sights from atop the Arts Council’s roof. The Art Deck is the perfect place to herald summer with Saturday evenings filled with free live music by regional artists under dimmed string lights. Before each show, browse the Arts Council’s latest exhibit and even purchase some art in the street-level gallery. But up top, where tunes meet the stars, is where it’s at.

Jeff Lyons

Best Meteorologist

A familiar face on Tri-State television since 1988, Jeff Lyons provides the daily forecasts and breaking weather alerts readers seek. He’s also made fans for his affable personality, calm demeanor, and amusing man-on-the-street interviews. Lyons’ stardust has rubbed off on his cat, Betty, who became a social media sensation during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Lyons broadcast from his Evansville home. (Betty herself even garnered a few “Best Meteorologist” reader votes this year, which we think is paw-some.)

Honey Moon Coffee Co.

Best Place to Have a Cup of Coffee

Evansville has several outstanding local coffee haunts. But Honey Moon, which made its debut on Weinbach Avenue in 2016, gets our readers’ nod for the second consecutive year, and not just for the quality of its pour over. Visitors can sip a signature latte (try the Purple Ace with espresso, vanilla, and lavender) in a boutique setting surrounded by locally made art, crafts, and jewelry, and the cozy atmosphere lends itself well whether you need to do a bit of work, meet friends, or quietly read a book.

Los Bravos

Best Latin Restaurant

Which is best: East Side, North Side, or West Side? When it comes to locally owned Los Bravos, there’s no wrong answer to that age-old Evansville debate. Authentic, savory fare awaits at all three spots (plus Boonville, Jasper, and Loogootee, Indiana). Start with all the chips and salsa you can handle, and follow it up with a burrito, quesadilla, Evansville-favorite Chicken on the Beach, or steaming hot fajitas. Drinks, you ask? Try one of numerous Los Bravos’ specialty margaritas, sangrias, or cold beers.

New Harmony, Indiana

Best Town Within an Hour of Evansville

The former Utopian community has a small population (677 in 2023) but is big on charm. Evansville residents make the 26-mile trek west to New Harmony to shop in Downtown’s quaint, colorful historic structures, wander the concentric circle hedges of the Harmonist Labyrinth and Sacred Garden, and engage with its thriving visual and performing arts community. Whether your appetite is for solitude or socializing, New Harmony has the avenues to nourish your soul.

Sunrise Pump Station and Cascade

Best New Building Architecture  ★ Editors’ Pick

Water and sewer projects typically don’t conjure images of beauty, but this addition has lent some sparkle to the riverfront. Evansville Water and Sewer Utility’s $60 million effluent pump station opened in April and returns treated water to the Ohio River in a bubbly cascade that passersby can admire from an observation deck. Down a rolling hill at the glass-fronted indoor facility, visitors have an unobstructed view of the water testing and delivery process. The pump station and cascade won the 2023 Aim Community Placemaking Award in August from Accelerate Indiana Municipalities for its efforts marrying function, design, and community engagement.

Doug Rennie, Just Rennie’s Catering

Best Caterer

A takeout or sidewalk lunch at Just Rennie’s is a treat, but owner Doug Rennie likely is best known for catering. Menu options are vast: desserts, hot or cold hors d’oeuvres, and chef platters featuring fine meat and cheese collections have powered Rennie’s catering business into its 20th year in 2023. And no discussion of Just Rennie’s would be complete without mentioning its muffin-size cookies.

BRU Burger Bar

Best Restaurant for a Burger

Gourmet burgers in the beautifully reimagined old Greyhound bus terminal have been a unique Evansville experience since BRU debuted in November 2016. A small chain that’s part of the Indianapolis-based Cunningham Restaurant Group, BRU serves up double bacon and bourbon burgers to die for, and a “melt your face” option with habanero hot sauce, habanero cheese, and jalapeño. Some less traditional choices include turkey, black bean, bison, and lamb burgers.

In a bid to increase inclusivity, the nature preserve refurbished its Mini Loop Trail, making it more accessible. Wesselman Woods also added 90 acres of land surrounding the preserve to buffer the 190-acre old-growth portion of the forest.

Deep Fried West Side

Best Unvarnished Look at Evansville ★ Editors’ Pick

New in town and want the tongue-in-cheek inside track on life in Evansville? Turn to Deep Fried West Side. The anonymous parody Instagram account has exploited oddball Evansville culture and poked fun at the River City since 2021. Like fall festival foods, nothing — local television personalities, timely topics, museums, even Evansville Living — escapes Deep Fried’s skewers. The account lampoons a kernel of truth with a dash of exaggeration. Among its top hits: The camper parked on last year’s Pump-Out Island is given the Lonely Island comedy treatment. Olympic gold medalist Lilly King is depicted paddling around in Monet’s pond of — what else? — waterlilies. If you know, you know — and Deep Fried West Side is Evansville’s ultimate inside joke.

Mister B’s

Best Restaurant for Wings

A two-decade staple in Henderson, Kentucky, Mister B’s has since expanded to The Promenade in Evansville, bringing the franchise’s range of tasty wings across the river. Looking for pure heat? Try the hot, X-hot, or XXX-hot wings. If flavor is what you’re after, Mister B’s choices include beer mustard, three barbecue options, sweet habanero, garlic parmesan, or spicy parmesan. There is more on the menu, but if wings are your thing, Mister B’s is hard to beat.

Cork ‘N Cleaver

Best Restaurant for a Celebratory Dinner

You don’t need a special occasion to enjoy an outing at Cork ‘N Cleaver, but readers say it’s a terrific upscale choice for any big life event. The East Side restaurant has offered diners top-shelf food and good times since 1974 when it was associated with Chart House. Locally owned and operated since 2001, The Cork serves a popular early bird menu 4-5:30 p.m. After that, the evening’s entrees are presented on the classic cleaver.

Greenway Passage

Best Place to Ride a Bike

Seeking greenery, waterfront views, and meandering paths on your bicycle ride?

Storyboards along the 10-foot-wide paved trail tell the history of Evansville, and there are beautiful views along the Ohio River. It also serves as a place of diversity for plants and animals. The passage ends at the newly built Sunrise Pump Station and cascade.

Turoni’s Pizzery & Brewery

Write-In Winner: Best Pizza

Readers recommend following the pizza brick road to Turoni’s, a staple for homemade pies and freshly brewed beer since 1963. The pizzery’s famous cracker-thin crust holds up ingredients for fan-favorite pizza such as the vegetable-heavy Iron Man, pie-with-a-zing Vinny’s Pepper Planet, and Italian sausage-topped Stromboli Pie, washed down with a pint of the 24-year-old brewery’s permanent ales and rotating IPAs. Under dimmed lighting and a soundtrack of Italian music, pizza dinners take on a special ambience at Turoni’s.
